Cast iron Castings

Our Cast iron foundry occupies over 130.000 m2, facilitated with resin-sand and shell sand processing line, and 5 tons electric furnace, which can cast parts weight from 0.1kgs up to 10,000kgs, Annual output exceeds 10000 tons.

 

Zen Young is a cast iron castings manufacturer, specializing in producing both grey and ductile iron castings for pumps, valves, compressors, and other fluid machinery and engineering applications. Our products adhere to various standards, including ASTM A48 Class 30 for grey iron and ASTM A536 65-45-12 and ASTM A536 100-70-03 (quenched and tempered) for ductile iron. Additionally, they offer ASTM A532M KmTBCr26 (A05) and ASTM A439 83 D-5S high nickel alloys. Zen Young also provides austempered ductile iron castings for rail transportation equipment, engineering, and agricultural machinery, meeting ASTM A897 / A897M-061200, 1400, and 1600 standards.


The Benefits of Iron Casting:

Excellent casting properties (low melting temperature, good fluidity). It can be shaped into any complex form and size without requiring expensive machining processes.


Good machinability, especially in graphite cast irons.


Cost-effective compared to other metals.


Strong compressive strength, surpassing that of steel.


Outstanding anti-vibration (or damping) qualities, making it ideal for machine frames.


High sensitivity and precision in applications.


Superior wear resistance.


Consistent mechanical properties in temperatures ranging from 20 to 350°C.


Low notch sensitivity, reducing the risk of cracks.


Low stress concentration.


Durable and resistant to deformation.

Iron Casting Process in our foundry

Similar to other investment casting processes, iron castings can also be produced using various methods. In our iron casting foundry, we primarily use two methods: sand casting and lost foam casting.


Sand Casting


Also known as sand-molded casting, this process uses non-reusable sand molds to shape metal castings. It is widely used for producing complex cast iron components. In China, there are three main types of sand casting techniques for iron castings: precoated sand casting, resin sand casting, and clay sand casting.

Among these, precoated sand casting is the most precise, offering general casting tolerance of CT8 and producing castings under 2kg. Clay sand casting provides moderate precision with a tolerance of CT9 and is suitable for castings ranging from 2kg to 60kg. Resin sand casting is mainly used for large castings, typically above 60kg.


Lost Foam Casting


Lost foam casting is another technique used for producing iron castings. This method is an evaporative-pattern casting process, similar to investment casting, but uses foam instead of wax for the pattern. The main advantage of lost foam casting is the low boiling point of the foam, which simplifies the process by eliminating the need to melt out the wax. Cast iron is a commonly used material in this process.

Lost foam casting is ideal for producing small iron castings with excellent dimensional accuracy and surface finish. However, for larger castings, sand casting remains the preferred choice.



We will choose different casting methods for processing according to the product shape, material and your working conditions. Many years of processing experience can guarantee the quality of the casting parts.
